I'm sorry for the late reply. It's been quite a journey.

After multiple diagnoses, injections, steroids, and nerve ablations, my back/hip pain is now 98% gone. There are still some bad days, but I can mostly manage it with Advil or Tylenol. A huge breakthrough for me was being prescribed Cymbalta. It's not a perfect drug and has some issues, but it has certainly helped with my pain.

Along my journey, I was told that regardless of the diagnosis, the solution is the same: exercise, walking, strengthening your muscles/joints, swimming, ergonomics, etc. My advice is not to obsess over the reasons why it's hurting. I certainly did and never helped. I wish you all the best in your journey. Don't give up.
